POLICE AND THE POLES.

| a SOF1O0o NOW ABOUT n0u&1OQ0 M8CCofS
CHICAGO, March 25.-A special from De
troit says Excitementin the Polish quar-
| ter is still at white heat. OF the 5000
Poles in Detroit over I, 900 are members oi
St. Albertus parish. OF these fully 5000
are known as Kalinskians, after the de-
posed priest, for whose alleged rights they
have been fighting now for nearly eighteen
months. The remaining 1000 are Dom
browskians, and sustain the priest who
succeeded Kalinski. The two factions
fight among themselves but
WHEN THE POLICE APPEAR
they make a common cause against the
police. The result of the rioting was the
wounding of Captain Macke and seven po-
licemen by stones and other missiles,
thrown by the infuriated mob about St.
Albertus church-the shooting of Annie
Woobracht, Polish girl, in the hip, the
arrest of John Kotzenber and Antoine Gut
tosky, two rettors, and the injury of be-
tween one and two hundred men AID wo-
men by missiles.
It was long after midnight when the mob
was entirely dispersed, and it was hardly
daybreak yesterday when the trouble was
renewed.
large numbers, and swore vengeance on
the police and each other. Each faction
accused the other of
PRECIPITATING THE CONFLICT
and if they had been left to themselves
would have fought it out and settled the
matter probably for good. But the police
appeared and tie whole crowd turned
against the blue coats as they did Sunday.
1t require great bravery and GOODNESS on
the part OF the police to prevent bloodshed,
but they managed to do SO until last night.
In the evening nearly every family of the
Kalinski crowd assembled on the street
near the church. A number of men carried
clubs and women and children had bricks
and other missiles in their hands. They
kept up a continual chattering and gestic-
ulating. Hundreds of people who had no
concern in the church affair at all
FLOCKED TO THE SCENE.
There were at the lowest estimate 5000
people within block of the church. Fears
that Kalinski's crowd would attack the
convent or injure some of the little children
who are attending school, drew out crowd
OF fDombrowski's adherents. Thelatter were
posted in compact form on the corner of
St. Aubin and Willis avenues, in possession
OF Steuben avenue.
A small squad OF police patrolled the
street between the two crowds. Then the
two crowds began to close it, on the officers.
They divided evenly, turned back to hack,
and charged on the mob with drawn clubs.
There was some lively fighting for u few
minutes. The police
FOUGHT FOR THEIR LIVES,
Tor the maddened Poles seemed bent on
killing them that they might kill each
other.
For fully five minutes the little squad
fought with their clubs against the over
odds. They finally succeeded,
after battering the heads OF a dozen or
more OF the ringleaders, in overawing
Them. The Poles who had pistols fired
Them and the police discharged one or two
volleys in the air. 1t is estimated that at
east fifty Poles were badly nurt by the
missiles, but how seriously cannot be
earned. Several officers sustained grave

A jury in Helena, after considering q

to THE MINER.

HELENA, March 2S.-Under the new city
voters, books were opened at the various
wards in the city at O'Clock to-day. Up
to 10 o'clock tonight nearly 1900 names
were recorded, which is within 400 Of the
total number OF votes cast last election.
The books will be open again next satur-
day. 1t can readily be seen that it will be
surprising the number Of votes polled this
year, as large number have undoubtedly
deferred until the last chance to register ar
rives and many will avail themselves of
the last resort, which will be by establish
ing their citizenship at the polish the cum.

The story of "Godlva," wife OF that grim
Earl who ruled in Coventry, has been, not
outdone, for shat will never be. but re-
peated in less romantic manner by the
twenty-five naked maids OF Ireland, who
baffled 100 armed policemen that came to
make their arrest, The story OF this ap-
peal to and respect of modesty is told by
a Dublin cable dispatch as follows:
''The climax was reached yes
tcrday, and at the same time oc-
Cured a veritable reductio ad alb
sardum of Castle rules when 100 armed po
licemen entered the poor house to arrest
these female offenders, and were baffled by
the girls simply taking off their clot es and
going to bed. Twenty five naked women,
it may literally be said, beat 100 men
armed to the teeth.' Lady Godiva by her
perilous adventure ''took the peoples taxes
away and made herself an everlasting
name." These twenty-five Irish maids may
not secure such a permanent niche in the
temple OF fame but thev will at least have
the transient notoriety of having defeated
one hundred armed English policemen.

known for several months that his days

he calmly set about arranging his business
affairs in anticipation of his last dark

has ever since resided and actively engaged

anyone willing to bear their standard, but
it is likely to be either Hundley or Muth.
